But now, Chad wished that Ashley would nag a
little more, say a few more words to him, and
he would never perfunctorily treat her again.
Chad missed Ashley’s voice so much that he
turned over the chat records again and again,
listening to every voice message.
Chad, today the doctor hinted to me that our
child is a boy, but I prefer daughters. It doesn’t
matter, we have a long life together, and we will
definitely have daughters in the future. At that
time, she will have a brother to protect her.”
“Chad, the baby kicked me today, he is a
naughty ghost. Are you still busy? If you are not
busy, can you call me? It doesn’t have to be
long, just half a minute.”
く
At this time, Chad finally understood what these
voice messages meant. That was Ashley’s
longing for him!
Unfortunately, he understood too late.
He knelt on the ground, carefully picked up the fragments, held them in his arms, and cried bitterly.
The assistant soon brought news.
“Mr. Chad, we can only find out that Mrs.
Ashley’s flight is to a certain city in F Country
at the moment. We haven’t found the specific
information yet. Mrs. Ashley should have
deliberately hidden the information, and she
almost didn’t use her ID card. We are still
investigating.”
“As for why Brittany got divorced, and what
happened at the old house that day, I have sent
it to your email ”

it to your email.”
Chad quietly read the content of the email.
The doorbell rang, and Brittany was here.
- ))
As soon as she entered the door, she hugged Chad’s waist and sobbed.
“Chad, I miss you so much, and I also miss Ryan so much. Can you let me see him, okay?”
“I know that Ashley suddenly divorced you and you can’t take it. Your self–esteem can’t accept it. I’m willing to wait for you. I truly love you.”
“What’s so good about Ashley? I know it best as a woman. She’s just playing the trick of gaining attention by pretending to be indifferent. She wants to snatch you away from me. Chad, wake up, I’m the one you care about
the most. Forget that vicious woman. Can’t our

family of three have a good life?”
As she spoke, she stood on tiptoe and was
about to kiss Chad.
In the past, when faced with her pitiful
embrace, Chad would always be unable to
restrain himself.
Men were animals who thought with their lower
bodies, and Brittany thought it would be the
same this time.
But the next second, Chad pinched her neck,
his eyes as cold as ice.
“You love me? If you loved me, you wouldn’t
have impatiently hooked up with a foreign
tycoon when the Chad family was in crisis, and
you wouldn’t have abandoned me without
hesitation and gone abroad to get married.”
“The reason why you came back a year ago

was nothing more than discovering that the
other party was not only a scammer, but also a pervert who liked to abuse women, even your marriage certificate was forged by him, and the Chad family happened to be out of the crisis
and was even better than before. That’s why
you found me again, drugged me, became
pregnant, and wanted to hold both me and the
Chad family in your hands, right?”
“Because you know that you are just a
daughter of the Chad family’s collateral branch.
If you don’t get involved with me, you won’t be
able to live the life of a person above others in
this lifetime.”
Brittany was shocked, she didn’t expect Chad
to find out about these things, and she shook
her head again and again.
“Chad, you misunderstood me, you know me,
I’ve been pure and kind since I was a child, how
could I be so scheming?”
<
8:24
Chad’s hand grew stronger.
474
“You are pure and kind? Ha, Brittany, are you treating me like a fool?”
“Do you think I don’t know that you were the one who bullied Ashley first that day, and directed and acted in a play of hurting yourself, and even dared to push it on Ashley? What I can’t forgive even more is that you dared to show Ashley the recording of the child dying, which stimulated her to the point where she had to leave me, the real vicious person is you, you must pay the price!”
Soon, Brittany understood what that price was.
Because she saw that foreign husband who had abused her to the point of near death. The
other party walked out of the bedroom and showed her a grin.
“Baby, long time no see, but I miss your

Chad threw Brittany on the ground, and she cried and hugged his legs begging.
“Chad, don’t treat me like this, please, I finally
managed to escape, don’t send me back to
hell.”
Chad looked down at her with extreme
indifference, and the words he spoke were
extremely cold.
“Because of you, I pushed Ashley into hell, and I
lost Ashley, and I am now living in hell.”
“And why shouldn’t you be in hell?”
Brittany was dragged away by that person, she
could never run away in this life.
Because the other party sawed off her legs as a
punishment for running away, and fed them to
wild dogs.

“Mr. Chad, we found Mrs. Ashley’s location!”
474
At this time, I was in a rural town orphanage in
F Country, working as a caregiver.
Because there was an extreme shortage of manpower, the old dean didn’t even ask for my
ID card.
I asked her if she wasn’t afraid that I was a bad
person?
She shook her head with a smile and looked at
me affectionately.
“There’s sadness in your eyes, the kind of
sadness a mother has when she loses her child.
It’s hard for me to believe that someone who is truly sad for a child is a bad person.”
“There are many children here, they are all little angels, I hope they can heal the wounds in your
<
8:25
The conditions here were good, with a salary,
and room and board included.
474
And my favorite part of the job was preparing three meals a day for the children.
Those were what I had originally learned for my
own child, but unfortunately he never had the
chance to eat them.
Watching these children eat the food I made
every day and show happy smiles, I seemed to
be healed as well.
I had lost my own child.
But here, I became the Mom of more than a
hundred children.
On this day, a little girl in the orphanage waited
for her adopters.
The other party was a Chinese–American
<

The other party was a Chinese–American
couple. Both were doctors, were gentle in
character, and were easy to get along with.
They truly liked children too.
474
As usual, I prepared a delicate lunch box,
hugged the little one, and wished her a happy
family and future, health, and long life.
The little girl kissed my cheek.
“Mom Ashley, I will miss you, goodbye.”
“And that uncle behind you, I’ve seen him for
days, please help me say goodbye to him too.”
I was stunned and slowly turned around until
the car drove away.
Chad was wearing the clothes he wore on the
day he confessed to me, looking at me with
love.
“Ashley in the days you were gone I’ve been
<

474
“Ashley, in the days you were gone, I’ve been thinking, if none of that had happened, our child would grow up healthy and safely, what would you look like as a mother?”
“It turns out, it’s so beautiful.”
I looked at him indifferently.
“Is there any point in saying this now?”
Chad smiled bitterly and shook his head.
“Ashley, I know that I have committed serious crimes and am not worthy to appear here. Even though I’ve been here for a month, I don’t dare to go in to find you, I only dare to stand
outside, even if I can take a peek at you, I will be satisfied.”
“But people are always greedy. I miss you so
much, so I put on this outfit, and just want to
ask you shamelessly, if I really know I was
<
8:25

wrong, I am willing to make up for you in the second half of my life, can we go back to what
we were before?”
I laughed sarcastically.
“Chad, before asking this question, answer me first, can my child come back to life? Don’t talk
to me about compensation. A person like you,
standing at the door of the orphanage, I want to call the police.”
Chad was silent for a long time, until the
sadness in his eyes was about to overflow, and
said self–deprecatingly.
“You’re right, I understand. I will go to where I
should go, and I will never come to bother you
again.”
He took out a document from his bag.
“Ashley, your divorce agreement was not
<
8:25
rigorous enough, I re–signed one. This is not
compensation, this is what you deserve.”
474
“I know you don’t want to get close to me. I’ll
put the agreement on the ground, wait for me to leave before you pick it up.”
“Ashley, I’m leaving. From now on, no matter
where I am, I will pray for you a thousand times
every minute, I hope you have a happy and
peaceful rest of your life.”
“Ashley, goodbye.”
Chad gave me one last look, with infinite
reluctance and love, turned and left.
Looking at his back, I thought, the times when I
went to the hospital alone for prenatal
checkups, and when I looked out the window
alone at home until dawn, were probably like
this.
<
8:25
474
It’s just that the lonely person is no longer me.
The next day, a huge amount of money was
transferred to my account. This was what Chad
had marked in the divorce agreement.
Yes, no shares, no real estate, all cash.
A few days later, I understood the reason.
Chad turned himself in, publicly admitting that
he had instructed others to harm his wife, and
had personally killed his child.
The Chad family’s stock immediately
plummeted, all the industries under its umbrella
suffered huge blows, and even the real estate
under its name was left unattended.
Such a deranged, cruel, and heartless scum,
everyone would be able to kill him.
I didn’t know if he had been sentenced to death
because the verdict hadn’t come out yet, Chad
committed suicide.
And I used that savings to establish children’s
welfare homes and aid centers around the
world.
I hope that every child in this world can grow up
safely and live a long life.
(The End)
